Destination Day goes far!

Over 500 people attended Destination Day in the Tower Hotel which was organised the by the Destination Waterford City Tourism Committee. Destination Day was a networking event designed to allow tourism service providers to come together and exchange information. Prizes awarded on the day were Best Animated Stand: Imagine Arts Festival, Best Overall Stand: Waterford Living History, while Tramore Tourism won an award for being the first to 'Tweet ' that they were at the event. The Mayor of Waterford Cllr Pat Hayes opened the event and spoke about the importance of tourism service providers working together to promote Waterford as a tourism destination.
